Wonder how is the overall handling?

What I heard from someone who rode it was that when cornering you have to fight the steering, otherwise will flip.

Don't know how true, because I wasn't the one riding it.

Motorcyclist are the nicest people on the road, try not to kill us.

True, a cool mean bike and need to have 2 parking lots when park in Public carparks...went to view the bike and really tempted to buy one. The handling was entirely different from 2-wheels coz u dun lean the bike to take corners rather to steer the handle bar. Was told the lady CEO of SMRT oso own one.....tempted tempted....

Saw one Ang Mo riding/driving it... White colour...

 

I don't think it can classified as a bike cos he is stuck in the traffic like the rest of the car...

I only envy his machine but not getting stuck there...

My 2 cents...

 

Nice to look at....

 

Nice to Ride.... in a striaght line....*only*

 

Parking would be a B*tch!

 

Try riding it up north... and can't imagine getting stuck in Custom Traffic... *FAINT!*

 

I'll be better off in a Brand New Goldwing than a Can-Am.... At least I could "Korner" in Style.... :)

To Me....

I would call it a trike more than a bike.

 

 

Well, it has its pros and cons obviously.

 

Easier to ride on a clear road. Long distance touring will be a breeze. You don't have to worry about tipping over or low/highsiding.

No worries about forgetting the sidestand at gas stops. Safer in the rain. It probably has good cornering grip too.

 

Cons? Stuck in traffic with the cars= sucks. You can't lane split... so I still worry about some punk ass driver rear ending me and making me a bike sandwich in between 2 cars. Power to weight ratio doesn't sound that impressive. It obviously won't accelerate like a proper superbike. You don't get the excitement of banking it in or grinding your kneepads.

 

And yes.... it looks fugly to me. But then again, looks are subjective.

Well, I'm thinking more from the safety point, not afraid of the risk of skided during rain.....basically, like the fact tat not afraid od dropping the bike....!!!

But then again...subjective to each individual........:cheeky:

i think MP3 or Fuoco better. These still can lane split sometimes and corner nice.

all the pros and cons. only one way to find out..... must save enough money to afford one of these in this lifetime.... i think the ride experience must be rather unique, different from bikes and cars.

 

one concern is those automatic car park barriers. In some places, motorcyclist is expected to squeeze through the gap. How is this going to be done for this big bike?

have you read motoculture for can-am interview ?

 

the ang moh CEO said they are targeting people who wants to have sense of riding bike but afraid to be on 2 wheels... not for hardcore motorcyclist... sounds like it suits you fine..

Saw one of this at Jurong West Avenue 1 near the old KFC there (now change to kopitiam liao). Yellow colour.

Looks not bad, but like weird leh, how to squeeze through the traffic? Kinda defeats the purpose if the rider is met with a jam.

To me the only cons is to find a parking lot to park, finding a lot to park a Goldwing is already a headache in most car park, finding 2 lots side by side needs a miracle.

It doesn't make any difference whether a motorcyclist has the right-of-way or not, the rider is the one most likely to get hurt.

thing is, when upon reaching both customs, which counter to go to?

 

bike lane, too small, not enough clearance..

 

car lane, vehicle classified as bike leh since registered as F plater... then hw?

 

saw one, yellow black few weeks back @ Commonwealth area..

 

one word.. BIG..

我们都在不断赶路忘记了出路, 在失望中追求偶尔的满足..

I ever ask the Singapore custom, motorcycle are allow to use the car lane if you wants to.

There is no restriction that only cars can use the car lanes.

 

Cars can also use the bike lanes if they can go through the small space for bike.

It doesn't make any difference whether a motorcyclist has the right-of-way or not, the rider is the one most likely to get hurt.

There's one that parks often at Parkview square. Has to park in car spot, and pay accordingly.

All the cons of a car + all the cons of a bike, with none of the pros... What's the point? Maybe good for California or Aussie highways... But for Singapore? Ridiculous! Everytime I see one one the road (stuck in traffic) I can't help but laugh.
